In short
United Moving (USDOT 2852040) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within California, based in Los Angeles, CA and registered since 2016. Its filing lists 3 trucks and 2 drivers. It has no FMCSA safety rating. It had 5 roadside inspections in the last 24 months, 1 of 3 vehicle inspections ending with a truck put out of service.
Is United Moving licensed?
United Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2852040) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within California, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 10 years of registration (since 2016): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against United Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 3 trucks and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2016.

How United Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 2 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing United Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 3 power units on file (3 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 31,000 miles reported for 2024, about 10,333 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight and other cargo.

What a move with United Moving should cost
Not United Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Los Angeles costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Los Angeles: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Los Angeles: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$56 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $859.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $411 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $635 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $515 – $859 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $867 – $1,587 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,483 – $2,315 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,835 – $2,763 |
Hourly rates are scaled to California: hand movers there earn a median $21.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$56 per mover per hour.

Before you book United Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside California
United Moving is registered for moves within California. For a move to another state, ask which interstate carrier would haul it and look up that company's USDOT number as well.
- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of United Moving's 3 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (33.3%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No United Moving driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $515 – $859
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Los Angeles at $515 – $859 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $12,879 – $17,172. A surveyed, written estimate from United Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.

United Moving: questions people ask
Is United Moving a licensed moving company?
United Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 2852040) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within California, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.

What is United Moving's safety rating?
It has no safety rating on record in 10 years of registration (since 2016): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against United Moving, and not a mark for it.
